RECOMMENDATIONS

In spite of having such life size successful examples, CSR in India is in a very nascent stage It is still one of the least understood initiatives in the Indian development sector It is followed by a handful of public companies as dictated by the very basis of their existence, and by a few private companies, with international shareholding as this is the practice followed by them in their respective foreign country Thus the situation is far from perfect as the emphasis is not on social good but rather on a policy that needs to be implemented A lack of understanding, inadequately trained personnel, non-availability of authentic data and specific information on the kinds of CSR activities, coverage, policy etc. further adds to the reach and effectiveness of CSR programmes But the situation is changing and CSR is coming out of the purview of 'doing social good' and is fast becoming a 'business necessity'. The 'business case' for CSR is gaining ground and corporate houses are realizing that 'what is good for workers - their community, health, and environment is also good for the business'.
